Congrats @laurenlalap !! Best wishes for a happy and healthy 9 months!
Month/Cycle: 8/6
CD/DPO: 22/4 (according to dotted CH)
Timing: -2,0
Testing: Going to try like hell to wait until I'm late...
R/R/CS: Just spent an obnoxious amount of time creating our 2016 calendar on Snapfish. BUT, it was buy 1, get 2 free so it was worth it. Trying to enjoy the rest of the day before going back to work tomorrow after Christmas break.
GTKY: Which would you rather do? Wash dishes, mow the lawn, clean the bathroom or vacuum the house? I'd rather mow the lawn but DH doesn't trust me with the tractor. Vacuuming would have to be my second choice.
R/R/CS: My whole cycle has completely ignored all my previous patterns and has something something different. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised my post-O temps have no recognizable pattern (compared to my earlier charts) either. Also for my daily rant: after staying with my in-laws for a couple of days (they smoke) I feel like my lungs are strength training with weights or something. F you asthma, F you.
GTKY: Which would you rather do? Wash dishes, mow the lawn, clean the bathroom or vacuum the house? Definitely wash the dishes.
Me: 28 Husband: 31 TTC#1: January 2015- September 2016 Infertility, Recurrent Pregnancy Loss Rainbow baby born June 6, 2017 ❤️
CD/DPO: Not temping, but based of OPK (I know, not completely reliable) CD28/DPO8 (I generally have 37-38 day cycles)
Timing: Again, not positive but I believe -3, -1, +2 (timing wasn't ideal as it was when we were staying with family for Christmas)
Testing: Will wait until 14 DPO and then do once a week/until AF arrives
R/R/CS: Longer cycles suck. I know there are people with longer cycles, and I commend them. Because there is SO MUCH WAITING.
GTKY: Which would you rather do? Wash dishes, mow the lawn, clean the bathroom or vacuum the house? Umm. Probably vacuum or dishes. I won't mow the lawn (and luckily I have an HOA that takes care of that for me) and I hate cleaning the bathroom. Although I don't like doing dishes after cooking a big meal. Luckily DH and I have an agreement: one cooks and the other does the dishes.
Testing: I'm aiming for 10DPO, but I may test tomorrow just because I'm freaking out a bit. I'm trying NOT to SS, but I can't stop. I need to get my head set back on straight.
R/R/CS: My temps keep going up and I'm not sure what's going on. It's on a steady increase. I have about three apps right now on my phone for charting and period tracking. Two of them says that AF is due on Thursday, but FF has pushed everything back and said that she's due on the 11th. I'm not sure what's going on. Anyone willing to CS for me?
GTKY: Which would you rather do? Wash dishes, mow the lawn, clean the bathroom or vacuum the house? Definitely wash the dishes.
CD/DPO: 22/8, estimated based on CM, CP, and OPKs.
Timing: -1, O, +1
Testing plans: Tuesday morning.
R/R/CS: SSing like crazy. My boobs hurt and the left one is huge... Just the left one. WTF, body? At least if it's AF related, I'll be able to get back into temping next cycle!
GTKY: Oh Lord, I hate vacuuming! I'd rather do anything else in the house except vacuum!

@BerkeBaby We're cycle buddies kinda. (I hate that term though). My cycle also started on the 1st, but I ovulated three days before you. FF has CD1 as Friday, Jan. 8th which I think is really weird too. I think they're just trying to get me to hold off on testing til then but I'm fully expecting AF Tuesday or Wednesday.
@ReesaAnne16 I have not put DH on any vitamins without a doctor’s suggestion. I would be worried about unwanted side effects.
@laurenlalap Congratulations!! So excited for you! FX for 9 months of H&H.
****TW Possible BFP and Loss mentioned****
Well ladies, the in laws left and I was able to buy more tests. I took one on a 3 hour hold and got what might have been a squinter. It was VERY light but had colour. I have had white tests with this brand so I know the difference but after 3 losses I'm not ready to call it a BFP yet. I'm especially nervous because I've had AF like cramping all day (but no AF). If AF still hasn't shown tomorrow (it was due today) I will test again with FMU. Is it ok if I hang around here for a day or two until I get a more definitive answer?

Update:....and I started spotting. So much for the high temp meaning something positive. This really freaking sucks! I guess the upside is that I didn't actually go out and buy any HPTs yet.
Timing: I don't have great temps, so I think -5, -2, and +2
Testing: probably not...I feel cramps and am sure my period is on its way
R/R/CS: temping question. I have been setting my alarm at 6am to temp. Today I woke up at 4:40am but thought it was too early to temp, so rolled over and went back to sleep (prob took me like 10-15 min to fall back asleep though) and then temped at 6am. What would have been better-temping earlier with 3 hours of solid sleep before, or temping at 6am with the wake up?

@JamieK1882 I would have temped when I first woke up, even if it was early. Since you temped at 6 after only maybe an hour of actual sleep, I would mark it as sleep deprived in FF. Either way would have given you an open circle though. I have no idea how the algorithm works, but I believe it takes early temps and sleep deprivation into account somehow.

Sorry, @babymish @H4aPartyof5 CD15 looks right to me. You may just have a slow rise. @beary67 Looks right to me. @BerkeBaby FF will normally set your test date as the day after how long your average LP is. If your LPs are 14/15 (favoring 15DPO) FF should have you testing 16DPO, which is what FF is suggesting. FF doesn't jump on the "test early" train.
Month/Cycle:10/6
CD/DPO: 22/8
Timing: -3,-1,0
Testing: 14 or 15DPO
R/R/CS: I think my progesterone is trying to get me to speshul snowflakye but I won't let it! This nausea means nothing!
GTKY: Which would you rather do? Wash dishes, mow the lawn, clean the bathroom or vacuum the house? Vacuum the house.

I’m so late getting to this that I thought about not bothering, but I suppose some of you might see them tonight still, and others will see them in the morning… plus I’m trying desperately to stay awake for another half hour or so.
@jparli - Sorry for the BFN. *hugs* I would probably use the 3:30am temp, personally, but that’s because I know the time of day matters more for me. Especially if I fell back asleep easily.
@virginiaham - Sorry for your BFN, and the below cover temp. *hugs*
@beary67 - FX when you test in the AM! Your chart and CH look good, though I’m confused by the two discarded temps?
@ReesaAnne16 - I’ve been trying to get DH to just take a multivitamin from time to time, but I’m pretty sure he only does when I remember to hand it to him, which is rarely.
@momstahp - I’m pretty sure FF calls the rocky mountains are somewhat common with long cycles… at least that’s what it says when I click on “more” in that section of my analysis.
@NamelessAria - I hope you stay strong! Oh my goodness, I have asthma too (usually just exercise induced but certain things like smoke and sickest really set it off), and I can imagine how you must be feeling. *hugs*
@Tennis11785 - that timing isn’t AWFUL. Don’t get down about it so early! And fellow 37-38 day cycler here! *high five*? J/K. How about a *hug*?
@alicedavid2013 - I keep trying to stop SS myself, so if you made it to day 8, you’re doing better than me!
@ducks6 - FX for a darker, more convincing line when you retest!
@JamieK1882 - I think you’re fine temping after falling back asleep for another hour, but that’s just me. The first month I temped, I did both to see which ended up seeming more consistent/better. Though sometimes I find it best for me being able to sleep and not worrying about it to temp, put it in my note section, then fall back asleep and temp again when I wake up.
@hunnybunny17 - Yep, that’s what I keep telling myself about the early SS! We’re smart women, we got this, right?!
@SLou24 and @sugarpixxie2 - I check regularly when WTO, especially when the reply count gets high as well! Unless I’m having a bad day and can’t handle it.
